Kurtis LarsonVerified account @KurtLarSUN BREAKING: Ryan Nelsen out at Toronto FC.
Crazy. In the middle of a playoff run though, this can't be good for our chances.
Breaking Future News- Replacement coach X gets credit for season or blames Nelsen and not enough time to turn it around.

@JohnMolinaro: Source close to situation confirmed to me that Nelsen is out as #TFC coach: http://t.co/eFLy25WSur
wholesale clean out
Badly, badly, needed. You could fill an ocean with all the shortcomings of the current group.Originally Posted by GabrielHurl
I will say #1 on my list of grievances is the lack of a spanish speaker in either the head coach of first assistant spot. That's just totally unacceptable in MLS today.
BTW if there was an internal candidate who would take over, it's not Dichio or Brennan, it's Bent.
vanney is making more and more sense as iirc he is assistant gm so he is bezs guy
i hope he has a replacement already lined up
I here Aron Winter is available
Surprised Mr. TFC Jimmy was not spared.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Gilberto tweeting out that canada continues to surprise him followed by a thumbs down.. obviously not happy with nelsen leaving
He tweeted earlier with a thumbs up and deleted it. lol?

He backed Bez into a corner. Hats off to Bez for making a very defining call.
Yeah, this. Bez had no choice after that press conference.
Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong - calling out your boss in the media will never end well.
Shows it's never good to air your dirty laundry in public, should have gone up to a room after the game and discussed his displeasure and issues with Bez straight up, man to man. Bez really had no choice at this point.

Where is TR, still kicking around town?

hats off to bez..... maybe instead of sacking coaches he can find a winger who can pass. a central midfielder who doesn't pass sideways or backwards, and a central defender who can defend
Yeah exactly, lets hide the truth, although I think half the people here are backoffice TFC hacks..they would not have professional PR:-)
Please, please, please let's finally hire an experienced coach. No more experiments with rookies.
Maybe we shouldn't have a rookie GM either. Bez is a corporate yes man who now feels a bit of power because TL is exiting.
What in his history suggests he is a corporate "yes man"?
He has corporate experience yes. Kind of critical in this league. That said, where is the history of an inability to think and act on his own?
This x 1000!
I've always thought Nelson was a terrible coach so this is great news for me. But please for the love of God let's hire someone who's actually coached and had success with first team football before. Someone whose right hand man isn't a NCAA Div 3 coach.
I've been a fan of Bez's personnel moves over the last year. And good on him for getting rid of Nelson who's been continually outcoached and looked at a loss for ideas all year. But it's crucial to get the next hire right.
Agreed. The early season victories were often the result of opposition failing to mark Defoe, much like we failed yesterday with Nguyen. In those games, Nelsen favoured tactics which allowed the other team to control the game. We were lucky to have the Brazilian in goal, and were lucky Defoe was brilliant. Now, Defoe is either sitting, or not effective (defenders arent fooled anymore by those long passes), Our keeper is average, and Nelsen's team formation and tactics are costing us wins. We need a leader not a student at the helm.
Praise Jebus. The press conference last night was infuriating, as we're all the previous ones. All Nelsen ever does is make excuses, refs, pitch, weather, travel, injuries, expectations of GM and fans, and just plain bad luck. Always externalizing issues. People that externalize don't improve because they have no control over their fate, its the unseen forces holding them back!
Contrast to Robinson's presser following an equally disappointing performance, he actually admits his team and his coaching staff!! was defeated. What a concept admitting you we're beaten and will fix the problems!!!
And instead of saying "… are you kidding me?", He also acknowledged the importance of the game:
"It is a massive game," Robinson said. "It's a rivalry game for us at home against a team that's competing the playoff spot. I could say it's just another normal game and I wouldn't be being honest, and that's one thing I am. It was a massive game for us. We lost, we take it on the chin and move on."
probs a mistake the emojis are right next each other on the keyboard
Wonder if Tim L had any input into this….
I am sure Tim expressed his thoughts and gave an opinion but it ultimately lay with Bez with some consultation.

Wonder if Danny is named to the first team staff as an assistant , would make sense on such a short time frame.
